Ear pads for Sony MDR-v6 headphones

**Tim Streater** · November 11th 07, 07:26 PM posted to uk.rec.audio

Does any one know where in the UK it might be possible to get
replacement earpads for these headphones? Mine are falling apart (a
common problem it seems now I look into it).

I can get beyerdynamic ones (p/n 942704) from B&H in New York but then I
am paying $35 shipping for a $20 part.

Thanks for any pointers.

Beyer spares should be available in the UK. Their pro stuff certainly is.
But Sony are usually pretty good with spares. Have you tried a Sony dealer?

If they are standard sizes, Maplins sells at least two sizes, otherwise Ebay

They're a regular item for film production audio dealers to have in stock.
Here's a company in the UK that has them - http://www.canford.co.uk/

Thx for the pointer - but I just bought the beyerdynamic 942704 from
Headaudio in Denmark. They arrived quickly and fit nicely.
